Generate meaning
1
Here come the sidewalk boss again
2
Telling me how I can't cave in
3
That I'm a study in black
4
Need a pat on the back
5
I look up and smile, a picture of dissatisfaction
6
That he can only see as a junkie
7
Though I might be straight as an arrow
8
He's busy shaking hands with my monkey
9
Busy shaking hands with my monkey
10
I go in my car, straight to the bar
11
Where my sweetie pours the beer
12
For the millions of fans, ignoring the bands
13
He's in my ear wants me to live in denial
14
Says, "You've gotta settle for something"
15
Though it might not be really living
16
Anything is better than nothing
17
Anything is better than nothing
18
No actor action man gonna move in
19
To take my place
20
I'll be pumping out the product
21
Just a total waste
22
Look at your hands unoccupied
23
Look at the lengths you'll go to hide
24
You're under the veil
25
Pretending to fail
26
Got a whole lotta empty time left to go
27
Now you've got to fill it with something
28
I know what you can do, don't you know?
29
Anything is better than nothing
30
No actor action man gonna move in
31
To take my place
32
I'll be pumping out the product
33
Just a total waste
34
I'm here with my cup, afraid to look up
35
This is how I spend my time
36
Lazying around, head hanging down
37
Stuck inside my imagination
38
Busy making something from nothing
39
Pictures of hope
40
(And depression)
41
Anything is better than nothing
42
Anything is better than nothing
43
Anything is better than nothing
44
Anything is better than nothing
